Speeches by IrIsh Members of
Parliament,

The Irish meeting held in Chicago re.
Gently was a gathering OF about 5000
Irish and Irish. American citizens to hear
Arthur O'Connor, M. p. and Sir Thomas
G. Esmonde, NJ. p, on home rule in Ire
land.
Mr.. O'Connor. in a calm, dignifed man.
ner, spoke OF the situation in Ireland.
He felt that many would prefer if he ad-
vocated extreme measures and physical
force, but that as they were in Ireland
they were supposed to be the best judges
OF the mode OF procedure, which was con-
receive from England's right hand Irish
home rule, than to wiring it by force from
England's left hand, which might be re.
covered again at the first favorable oppor.
tunity. The fight was not the Irish
against the English, but between a
Troy government and the National
league. He reverted to Mr.. Chamberlain
proposed visit to this country as an En-.
glish commissioner, and advised the Irish
Mr.. Gladstone has done, and not forget
that he is the guest OF the United States
while here and that they are citizens.
The Irish parliamentary had adopted the
the motto of Gen. Grant, and will fight the
battle out If it takes oil winter.
Thomas Grattan Esmonde, M. p, spoke
at length, reviewing the acts OF the Irish
party and the plan OF campaign. Said he:
We are fighting the same battles in Ire.
land that your forefathers did in America
over a hundred years ago. England then
wanted to force free trade upon you and
you would not submit; she tried to coerce
you, but you claimed the right
to manage your own affairs and you have
been doing it ever since. He alluded to
'sthe jubilee coercion act" and asked the
peoplssof. the United States who have en-.
abled them to struggle against a concen.

often that we are getting used stosit, and

board OF corrections and charities. He In
turn notified the governor, DR.. Dana and
William NJ. Campbell, resident members OF
the board, and IN Investigation was com.
mencsd In st Paul.
The principal witness examined was
Louis Peterson, turnkey at the jail. whose
testimony was collated with affidavits re-.
tanning tho story Of the girl, and found to
c~orroborate them in man particulars.
Soon after the investigation by the
charities board committee Sheriff Richter
sent word to Secretary Hart that he had
discharged Shields and Kramer. although
he had previously promised that Picha
should be cut off. But there is no doubt
but that the board OF charities and correc-
tions will push the matter to the utmost.

How the Gable Cars Work.

A well-known New York plumber who
crosses the Brooklyn bridge pretty often,
escorted u friend, o stranger in the city,
down to witness the working Of the cable
grip. The Number explained it in the fol-
lowing words: ~
Nov the old thing works like this, " he
said. You notice that big wheel over
there?"
YES"
"Well, there's a dewfunny on the side
that's connected with a megigger that's
out Of sight, and when steam is OIL and
you want to work the trap, you just pull
the hopper and the dingus ketches hold Of
the cable and presses it against the wheel;
then a catch iron fip.fap does something
that I don't understand and the cable
reels off them thingumbobs, underestimate
quite" said his friend gravely; ''but
what is the use OF that gilderfluke at the
far end?" 49, r..
"That is a sort OF twistycutis that keeps
the cable from kicking against the cut off
valve, which has an automatic thingum.
bob that grabs the cable"
,"Oh yes. I see. It's wonderful, and I'll
have to tell the folks at home all aboutit.
Let's go and get something"

The Boston Boy Dared to Fight.

John l.. Sullivan's card announcing his
departure for London and his determine
ton to challenge Charley Mitchell has
prompted Mr.. r. K. Fox to send the follow
ing challenge to the Sporting Life in Lon
don: I will match q Jake Kilrain
to fight John L. Sullivan according
any sum from SIS, 900 to $40, 900 q side,
the fight to take place three months after
Jan. 3, 1883. l will send you q forfeit of
$500 and the match al be ratified at
any time when my representative, who
leaves on the Etruria Nov. l2, arrives in
England. If Sullivan means business he
will prove it by posting q deposit with the
Sporting Life and appoint the latter part
OF November to arrange the match. l am
confident that Kilrain can defeat Sullivan
and Kilrain is as sanguine as the sun
shines that he can conqher the nee cham.

INDEMNITY LANDS.

Land Commissioner sparkle Says
that Purchasers OF. indemnify
Lands Can Secure Patents by Pay
Ing the Government Price.
I.AnlMoRE, Dak., Special Telegram, Oct,
2S.-An important letter was received q
few days since by E.. O.. O1ness OF Glover
from Land Commissioners Sparks. It is a
very significant document, set.
Ting a most puzzling question.
which has oftsn~bee raised
In connection with the indemnity lane
question. 1t clearly admits that the gen.
eral land Office recognizes the law OF March
8, 1887, as applicable to Dakota, and
that purchasers Of indemnity land from
the railroad, if properly qualified, have
first right to enter their land, or will re.
ceive patents for it by paying, the govern
ment price. Apparently this removes all
the indemnity land sold in this region from
any possibility Of being secured by squat.

Glover. OAK, Sir: This office is in receipt
OF your letter OF the goth ult., asking if o
person holds a railroad deed on some OF
this land can hold said land with safety
meaning railroad indemnity land.
In answer I have to advise you that an
actual settler on restored railroad lands,
who holds @ deed from the railroad COM
pany. can secure title from the government
under the presumption or homestead laws,
provided he has not exhausted his priv
ilege Hereunder. The fifth section OF the
act OF March 3, 1887. Oath Stats.
556) provides that when lands within the
limits OF railroad grants, coterminous with
the constructed portions OF the lines OF
road, which lands have not been conveyed
on account OF the grants, but were except
ed from the operations OF the same, and
which have been sold b. the railroad
company to citizens. or to persons who
have declared their intention to become
citizens OF the United states, such lands at
the date OF purchase from the railroad com.
pany not being in the bona fide occupation OF
adverse claimants under the pre- emption
or homestead laws OF the United States,
and where claims and occupation have
not been voluntarily abandoned, and
such lands are not OF the class described as
settled upon subsequent to the first day Of
December, 1882, by persons claiming to
enter the same under the settlement laws
OF the United States, then BONA fide pur.
chasers from the railroad company, il
qualified as to citizenship, their heirs or
assigns, may make payments to tho Unit
ed States for such lands at the ordinary
government price for like lands. and receive
patents therefor. Very respectfully. .

The annual report of Gen. Greedy,
signal service officer, is largely an apol-
ogy for imperfect work on the part of
the bureau. He states, for instance,
that there have been 1910 storm
signals OF all kinds ordered, OF which
l,O34 only were verified. This is the
lowest percentage il years. The chief
cause for this decline in the reliability
of the service is ascribed to the as.
signment to it OF young officers who
have received but inadequate instruc'
ton.

A Secret Printed Years Ago.

Sioux City Special: The death OF Elihu
B. .Washburne suggests a page OF history
which the Sioux City Journal prints for
the first time. Mr.. Washburne was APP
pointed secretary of state by Grant as q
temporary expedient. The ttacit. il. not ex-
Washburne should hold the secretary OF
state office, but not undertake to
shape its policy, as Ill was the
intention OF Gen. Grant to tender the
place to James +. Wilson, now United
States senator from Iowa. Mr.: Wash
burne was appointed, but contrary to Mr..
Wilson'S expectations, began at once to
ics and to made foreign appointments.
Mr.. Wilson thereupon declined to consider
the subject further. Secretary Washburne
was soon sent to France and Hamilton
Fish succeeded him in the cabinet. This
revelation comes from Senator Wilson.

Why the Northern Pacific Wants
Money.

Director Charles B. Wright, ofthe North.
ern Pacific railroad, has issued a circular
to the Eastern preferred stockholders, ex.
planning the necessity Of the new loan. Mr..
Wright says the $12, 000, 600 issue is Tor
the following purposes: 81, 600, 900 OF the
bonds to be reserved and set aside to take
care of the outstanding 6 per cent dividend
certificates issued in January 1883 and
completion of the Cascade tunnel and the
bridge across the Columbia river at Pasco
and some $500, 600 is requiredimmediate-
~ for rolling stock to meet the demands
OF the company's business. Means are re-
quired to open up the great coal fields OF
the company on the Cascade division.
The remaining bonds may not be required
to be used for several years.

Wichita, Kansas, is noted for it's
extravagant real estate boom, but it
evidently holds some wideawake peo-
pie. A manufacturer offered to estab-
fish a plant in Wichita that would
furnish employment to 500 people.
He asked that the city give him $780,
900. One citizen drew his check for
that amount and other citizens
promptly reimbursed him. The trans
action did not occupy n days time.

r. FOR sABIN.
Purchasing the Northwestern
Manufacturing and Car Works at
Auctlonfor ST nos. OOO.75.

Auction for St,lo5, ooo.75.
The sale OF the Northwestern Manu-.
featuring and Car Works was held
at Saltwater, MIMI, at the court house by
Referee w. C. Williston of Red Wing, and
the property was finally struck off
to the Minnesota Thresher company
at 81, los, oOo.75.' The only other
bidder for the works was Andrew Crawford
of Chicago, the Western financial agent for
Drexel, Morgan & Co., who dropped out
after bidding 81, 1O3, 900. The price at
surprise to all, the impression having
prevailed that the price would be run up
to at least So, 600, 900, ard perhaps half O
million beyond that. BY the order OF
court, the referee has five days in which to
prepare and file his report OF the sale. The
sale must be approved by the court thirty
days thereafter, and then the thresher
company, before taking possession, must
settle with Receiver Brown. q proceeding
which some assert will take two or three
months to accomplish, during which time
Mr.. Brown will remain in possession.
In an interview Mr.. Sabin said: ''Tll
just simply say that the thresher
company own So, $50 600 Of tho
claims against the car company,
practically all tho claims. There
are q few small claims outside OF
tnese wnlch Jney 90 NOT own, n Wnlcn
can give them no trouble whatever. All
there is to it, the thresher company have
got to settle up with the receiver, and own.
ing, as they do, about all the claims
against the Company, walkinto possession
by paying a comparatively small amount
OF money. .There'l be no trouble on that
score whatever, and they'll be in posses
sion very shortly. The contested claims
are in the hands OF the company. so that
they will all be adjusted among them
Selves"
Saltwater seemed to be overjoyed by
the turn OF affairs and in the evening
Senator Sabin was serenaded and made
a speech.

METROPOLITAN Theater.

A stock company opened at this house
Saturday evening which is to play a round
of dramas for some time, at low price of
admission. The company embraces Geo.
VESSELS leading man, competent and
experienced artist J. p. Rutledge, thor
oughly reliable stock actor; VIM. Deal
and Logan Paul. well known and good
support. and Ed. Martin, low comedy
character, and others, some of whom are
inadequate to the tasks given them. The
play for tonight and to-day is in keeping
with the patriotic anniversary, entitled,
- Sons of 76." Few plays of this chalac-
ter have much dramatic merit and fewer
still any literary excellence, and this is
like all of them. Aside from the old-tme
costumery and the patriotic expressions, it
has little TO attract. The plot is involved
and does not testify to great degree OF
skill on the part of the playwright. The
female support is unequal to the ability of
the company on the male side, but is to
be strengthened Immediately. "A Cele-
brated Case " is underlined for production,
and Called Back will also Iprobablysbe
produced. A matinee at > P. NJ. to-day and
third performance tonight, the curtain
not rising until P. NJ. to accommodate the
time to to-days celebration. On both &C.
casions " Sons of '76 will be played
